Bay Area rapper Mike Sherm brings his melodic, street-rooted sound to El Rey, one of the more reliable mid-size rooms on Central for catching hip-hop acts before they price out of it. The 13-and-over door policy is worth flagging if you're bringing younger fans, and El Rey's layout means the floor gets close fast when...
Nathan Fox plays an evening set at Tractor Brewing's Nob Hill location, one of the more reliably comfortable spots on the corridor for catching a solo performer mid-week. The front...
Triple Moon Bewitched sets up for tarot readings inside Painted Lady's Central Avenue brew house, part of the ongoing Brews & Boos series that mixes craft beer with occult-adjacent programming....
Two solo artists from the heavy-music underground share a bill here: Steve Von Till, known as one half of Neurosis's songwriting core, brings his sparse acoustic work, and Six Organs...
Bourbon & Boots runs this international-themed night as a weekly anchor for the late crowd on Central, with a ticket link suggesting there's either a guest DJ or some kind of structured programming rather than a walk-in bar night.

Bay Area rapper Mike Sherm brings his street-rap catalog to El Rey, a late-night show that runs until 2 a.m. local time.

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, the California swing band that never really went away after the late-90s revival, plays the KiMo Theatre in a pairing that actually makes sense: the band's horns-out, big-room energy fits the KiMo's 700-seat Pueblo Deco interior better than most clubs could manage. The KiMo has limited flat floor space, so if...
Four Albuquerque bands across one night at Launchpad, which means a long bill that rewards showing up early rather than pacing yourself to the headliner. Launchpad's sound system handles loud and layered music well, and a four-band local show tends to draw a cross-section of scenes that makes the room feel alive before anyone plugs...
